Turn More Leads Into Revenue Without Adding More Marketing Chaos

📉

Leads are inconsistent

Some months you're slammed. Others, crickets. There's no predictable pipeline.

🤷

You've tried agencies — and wasted money

Generic firms that don't understand your industry burned your budget and disappeared.

🌐

Your online presence doesn't reflect your quality

Word of mouth built your business, but digital is where customers look first now.

🧩

No one owns marketing strategy

You're the owner — you can't also be the marketer. Something has to give.

You don't need another vendor. You need a partner.

A Fractional CMO sits inside your business — learning your team, your customers, your goals — and builds a marketing engine that actually works for a company your size.

Not a one-size-fits-all campaign. A real strategy, built specifically for you.

"I've spent 20 years helping businesses grow through marketing — including years inside the home services industry. I know this world."

20+ Years in marketing

Senior marketing leadership — without the senior salary.

I'm Dan Grubb, founder of Groundwork Growth Partners. I've spent over 14 years leading marketing inside the home remodeling industry — not as an outside consultant, but embedded in the business, living the same seasonal swings, referral cycles, and customer expectations you deal with every day.

As a Fractional CMO, I bring that experience to owner-led home service and remodeling companies that need a real marketing leader driving real results — without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Based in Northern Virginia, working with clients remotely across the country.
